This shows how to do basic sanity test of an IMAP server. See also POP3_test and SMTP_test.
The numbers that precede each IMAP command may be any unique string. It should be unique per connection, so using incrementing integers seems as good as anything.
Below in command 4, MESSAGES may be one of MESSAGES, UNSEEN, RECENT UIDNEXT UIDVALIDITY
telnet imap.example.com 143 1 LOGIN username password 2 LIST "" * 3 SELECT Inbox 4 STATUS Inbox (MESSAGES) 5 CLOSE 6 LOGOUT
Other IMAP command examples
- All IMAP headers in message #1
- 5 FETCH 1 ALL
- headers and body in message #1
- 6 FETCH 1 FULL
- body only in message #1
- 7 FETCH 1 BODY
- envelope only in message #1
- 8 FETCH 1 ENVELOPE
- Get full email in all(*) messages
- 9 FETCH * FULL
- Get full message #1
- 10 UID fetch 1:1 (UID RFC822.SIZE FLAGS BODY.PEEK[])
- Get flags of message #1
- 11 FETCH 1 FLAGS
- Mark message #1 as read. This adds \Seen to existing flags
- 12 STORE 1 +FLAGS \Seen
